Prized Peony

Good morning and happy Saturday Stampers!!  Another week quickly gone by, but not before I got to paper craft again.  Todays cards was relaxing to put together,,  Here is how it went together... I did some watercoloring with my ink refills. I heat embossed with Versamark, and Su Gold embossing powder, then with a waterbrush and refill, I colored in the beautiful Peony from Prized Peony Bundle. I used Garden Green as the base, Forever Greenery DSP, Fluid 100 Watercolor paper, Basic Black CS, as well as White embossing powder. Basic Rhinestones. Garden green ink refill and Melon mambo refill ink. For the butterflies I used Butterfly Beauties die.

Celebrate Sunflowers

Hello paper crafters. I hope today is a good day for you.  I am here to share some cards made with Stampin'  Up's new stampin' Bundle... Celebrate Sunflowers #154065.  I is such a beautiful collection!!  It is great for coloring with Stampin' Write markers. Stampin' Blends, Water color pencils. or just use ink pads and your blocks with a waterbrush.
 Todays' shares area collection made with ink blocks, stamp pads and water brush pens.  I stamped the sunflower with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Stampin' up's White embossing powder.


I also used Gold embossing powder on one of the cards..and I love the effect. I also swapped off  stamp sets and used Tasteful Touches #152562.


All of these beautiful stamps and more can be found on my website..

Hello crafters, hope today finds you happy and crafty.  I have been totally enjoying the new Annual Stampin' Up! 2020/2021.  there are so many beautiful stamps and dies and Designer Series papers.. If you do not have a catalog and would love to see one...place an order of $35.00 or more and I will send one right out..!!

Today I am sharing some cards that I was inspired by fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator form Australia, Alisa Tilsner..her cards were beautiful, I just had to give it a go.  the jar is a punch from the Jar of flowers Bundle #154064..I inked the stamp with Whisper White Pigment ink and let it dry and then punched it out with the Punch from the Bundle..it gives it the chalked look of the painted canning jars you see all over lately.

The flowers were colored with assorted ink colors using the stmp pad, a block and a waterbrush..all of which can be purchased on my website~
